The mission of the "By The Sea" Arts & Seafood Festival is to celebrate our marine-based lifestyle with an authentic seaside fair. In bringing together gifted vendors and performers with local and visiting patrons the Festival seeks to promote support for the arts and to create a sustainable market for our Rainforest Artists and Artisans.

Additionally, the festival seeks to promote fish enhancement so that tomorrow's harvest will be as fine and plentiful as the benefit we enjoy today.

The Arts and Seafood Festival is also a proud host of the Prince of Wales Farmers Market providing consumers an ever-expanding opportunity to buy wholesome, locally-grown foods and products.

Finally, our objective is in capturing the furtherance of, increasing the awareness in and sharing the importance  surrounding our Rainforest Islands Arts and Oceanic lifestyle.
